Backstage at Yigal Azrouel

Yigal Azrouel's Fall/Winter 2010 collection featured sleek clothes and sleek beauty. I talked to Bobbi Brown Cosmetics' Wendy Rowe. "The look is youthful but fresh, with a heavy focus on the brows," she explained....

Next, I spoke with Teddy Charles who was in the middle of creating very chic "loose ponys that flip under to create a simple bun." After drying, he applied CATWALK by TIGI Your Highness Root Boost Spray to the roots. He then made side parts and pulled the hair back into a low ponytail, which he flipped under to create a loop. Rather than pull the hair all the way through, he left the ends sticking out in a modern approach to the classic bun. He added CATWALK by TIGI Your Highness Firm Holding Hairspray to set the bun in place and diminish flyaways. The smooth twist was perfect for an updo that strays from the typical ponytail. Teddy told me that when recreating this look it is a good idea to "use hair ties that do not have any metal, because those get stuck and break the hair when you pull it through."

One of the coolest parts of being backstage at Yigal was getting to try AHAVA’s Backstage Bath Bar. The amazing bath salts were incorporated into the show with behind-the-scenes treatments, massages, and grooming that smelled absolutely delicious. It was like being at a spa backstage amidst all the chaos. I also got a sneak peak at the beautiful nails donned by the girls in the show. The nail technicians from Haven Soho (havensoho.com) used a brand new color from ZOYA called Envy, which I can tell is going to be a huge hit this season. They kept nails short and slightly rounded and then applied the brilliant jade green polish.
